ho hum...the sky is falling

I don't get excited about posting about my food intolerances anymore...not sure why. I just live with it and it isn't as big of a deal as it once was. I don't bake anymore since I don't do sugar and I got tired of trying different flours so I stick to vegetables and some fruit (don't want to ingest too much fructose) and meats and fish and poultry, and nuts, and rice, and some corn products like grits. It is fine with me to eat this way. I have potatoes sometimes too, but not that often. If I want a crunchy snack I make popcorn.

So there you have it...I have been working on renovating my kitchen and little did I know it would turn into such a lengthy ordeal...I started chipping away at some loose pieces of paint in the ceiling and before I knew it I felt like Chicken Little saying, "The sky is falling!"

Well, this too shall pass and I will be in a fresh Mangrove yellow kitchen some day and this will be a fading memory. Don't start calling me, "Martha" just yet...

About Me

I am a writer who late in life discovered I can't eat anything and everything and feel well. Discovering what I can and cannot eat has been as liberating as the moment I realized I was a writer. Freedom of expression and ingestion...cha cha cha!
I have Hashimoto's disease and will be on thyroid hormone meds for life. Eliminating certain foods actually helps manage this autoimmune disease. I am thankful I finally discovered what caused my symptoms a few years ago. HURRAY! No gluten, casein, soy, eggs, limited sugar... plant based diet with occasional non plant foods.
